I think the classified documents are a nice touch, much better than a “live, laugh, love” sign.

Hey Donny, where did you stash the nuclear secrets?

In the busted shitter, duh.

What a bizarre article.

The toilet, she notes, is far from the wall, and might not be plumbed.

Basically, chandelier in the toilet. Everything is ugly or overstated.
An example of how not to do a bathroom. etc.
Some lovely speculation on the chando being in the "prime position of the fecal blast zone"

I'm glad I don't have a bathroom that looks like that. I can understand a lot of comments on it.
But... not much actual content in the article.

asked Aaron Wendelboe, professor of epidemiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, about [having stuff in a bathroom] and he didn’t immediately hang up on me, which was nice.

Struck me as very funny. It’s an odd article on something of zero importance, but at least the author reached out to experts to have some kind of actual content? idek

It's a bathroom full of (potentially top secret) documents.
I think the documents stored in a bathroom is by far the most bizarre thing (security clearance aside), especially for someone with such self-proclaimed business acumen.

You are correct, the whole article does have a tongue-in-cheek vibe.
I just can't wait for trump's news cycle to actually fucking end, and I think that's actually what my issue with the article is

News really misses him and the perpetual click generation. It why we need to get away from advertisement driven news.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I agree. His name drives clicks and that leads to the weird obsession the media has with him.

Not enough people are talking about how far the commode is from the wall.

This obsession with Trump for clicks will get him elected. Keep going people!

possibly, but i doubt it. Last time he was was an unknown quantity as far as being a president, this time everyone knows what sort of a president he’ll be.
